I spent my entire life being extremely sick and getting worse everyday, until several years ago my body was shutting down. Over time, I was prescribed 9 different medications for my ailments, yet I kept getting sicker. None of my doctors looked for an underlying problem, they just dealt with the symptoms. It took me having to do research on my own to find possible causes. After suspecting Celiacs Disease several years ago, I got this diagnosis confirmed with a simple blood test. I have been gluten-free and dairy-free for years now, and Im healthier now than Ive ever been. Im down to 3 prescriptions now. I still have to manage health issues on a daily basis, but Im alive and feeling darn good. At one point, I didnt have the energy to walk around the block, but now I do boot camp classes and Im training for my second half marathon this year. I get frustrated when people think Im off gluten to lose weight or because its a fad right now. Celiacs and gluten intolerance are serious issues. If you have any of the symptoms on this chart, consider going off gluten for at least a month to see how you feel. Sadly, most doctors wont suggest this as the U.S. is sorely behind in screening, diagnosing and understanding this illness.
